Perfect fall stay!

The Northwoods Dream Retreat was a perfect location to explore Whitefish as well as visit Glacier National Park. Private, quiet and we loved seeing the deer. We highly recommend it!

Peace and Quiet

Really enjoyed this property. Up on the mountain side with incredible views. Deer visited us every day right outside the windows. Will visit this property again. I will add to another reviewer that in the snow months you will need a four-wheeled or AWD to make it up the steep road and driveway. Was not a problem for us.

Great cabin

The cabin was welcoming and warm, it had tons of extra blankets, fans and space. The location was exactly what we wanted (remote but close to town) and they gave us early check in which was perfect as we are traveling with a 1yr old it was the foundation on an incredible and memorable trip. Thank you!

Christmas Getaway

Property very secluded - we liked that. Needed 4-wheel drive to get up the driveway but not an issue for us. Spacious. Clean. Comfy. The fireplace was awesome and cozy. Kitchen had some really poor quality pots / pans / cooking items. But overall, we would definitely return. Great views. Serene. Easy drive to town. Loved watching the deer roam the property. We really had a home away from home.

A total dream

This property truly surpassed all expectations. It was so clean and beautifully furnished. My family loved how close it was to Whitefish, Glacier, breweries, etc., but we also loved how quiet and secluded it felt. We were truly sad to leave, and I would highly recommend this property to anyone traveling to the Whitefish area. Thanks so much for an incredible experience.

Whitefish

Everything was great. There was a heat wave while we were there, and it would have been nice to have fans available to cool off. We did open windows for when it cooled off in the evening, but it got warmer in the place as each day passed. Other than that the house was equipped and very nice. Enjoyed the nine nights and would book there again.

Nice place, but

The property was spacious, nice, and clean. However, we arrived late in the evening, so it was dark. We followed the directions, but the directions were horrible. We were lost for some time. We had to call a representative (who was located in a foreign country) for help. While he was very nice, and tried hard to help, he was hard to understand because of his foreign accent. Late in the night, we finally got to the property. Then the key pad on the door didn’t work, so representative helped us find the key box. Next time we will book a place that has a local representative. I asked owners to make it right, but I received no response. I would not recommend booking this rental.

Beautiful peaceful home

This home is amazing. It’s so secluded and quiet yet minutes from town! Clean, cozy, and really has everything! Wood burning fireplace, a cozy loft to watch TV, full kitchen with basic amenities for cooking, firewood, all included. I can’t say enough good things about this home and I will definitely be back.

Amazing mountain retreat

We loved this house! It’s very secluded and quiet, which is what we were looking for. Close to town and many stores and restaurants, also less than half hour from the airport (FCA). If going to Glacier NP, it’s close to the west entrance (about 35-40 min) but pretty far from St Mary, Many Glaciers and North Fork areas (2 hours or more drive). The house was clean, has pretty much all the kitchen essentials- pots and pans, basic seasoning, Keurig coffee maker, etc. Deck was really nice for grilling or just sitting out with coffee in the morning. The only minor downside was the hot water; it runs out kind of quickly, so we’ve had to make our showers brief. All in all though it was great and made our Montana vacation that much more memorable.

Excellent Location, Quiet and Serene.

We stayed for over a week around Christmas and this was an excellent place to stay with tons of space! Bathroom was incredible and furniture cozy and clean. No issues with WiFi but you may need hotspot for video calls. Great location 10 minutes from town but you feel like you are far away. A few minor issues that were handled by Vacasa and taken care of were appreciated. Definitely worth a stay!

Private and cozy

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay. It would have been nice if the fenced in dog area was tied into the house but it was only a minor inconvenience. The location was very private, the house was clean, and the location was quick to town, glacier NP and the ski hill. We would stay here again for sure.
